President Donald Trump has made a major legal declaration, announcing that certain pardons issued by Joe Biden in his final days in office are “void” after it was revealed they were signed using an autopen rather than personally authorized by Biden himself. This stunning revelation has sparked legal and constitutional debates, with calls for a full-scale investigation into the legitimacy of Biden’s last-minute executive actions.
Biden’s Autopen Scandal: Fake Signatures, Real Consequences
According to a bombshell Heritage Foundation Oversight Project report, multiple high-profile pardons—including those granted to Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, key members of the January 6 Committee, and even Biden’s own family members—were not personally signed by Biden, but rather stamped with an autopen-generated signature.
This discovery has raised serious constitutional concerns, as the power to grant pardons rests solely with the president—not a machine. Legal experts argue that for a pardon to be valid, it must be knowingly and deliberately signed by the sitting president, not rubber-stamped through automation.

Trump’s Swift Action to Uphold the Constitution
Trump wasted no time addressing this unprecedented scandal, declaring that any pardon issued via autopen rather than direct presidential approval is invalid.
“These are not legitimate pardons. They are fraudulently authorized documents, signed by a machine, not a president,” Trump stated. “This is yet another example of Biden’s complete incompetence and disregard for the rule of law.”
Legal and Political Fallout: Calls for Investigation
The revelation that Biden’s final pardons were not properly signed has triggered major legal challenges. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has already called for a Justice Department investigation, stating that if Biden had no direct involvement in signing these pardons, they are unconstitutional and should be reversed immediately.
Beyond the legal implications, the political fallout for Democrats is massive. This scandal reinforces concerns about Biden’s mental fitness and decision-making in his final days in office. If he wasn’t even capable of signing his own pardons, it raises serious questions about who was really running the White House at the time.
Trump’s America First Commitment: No More Corrupt Backroom Deals
This latest move further cements Trump’s commitment to restoring transparency and integrity in Washington. Unlike Biden, who weaponized the legal system to protect his political allies, Trump is holding the corrupt D.C. establishment accountable.
The autopen pardon scandal will likely lead to a series of legal battles, as Democrats scramble to justify what appears to be yet another abuse of executive power. But one thing is clear: Trump is once again exposing the rot in the political system—and ensuring that no one, not even Biden’s inner circle, is above the law.
